Mr. Song, I think you should understand that our Washington plan itself is based on the principle of mutual benefit, but your country is just blindly thinking about its own interests and ignoring the interests of its allies. Is this contrary to the benevolence, righteousness and morality that you Oriental people have always advocated?" I have to say that Jackson is really a terrible Chinese master. When the so-called evidence or handle that he has mastered is no longer tenable, he began to talk about feelings, and even pushed the entire China into the edge of morality.

Of course, everyone understands that even the peace agreement in Washington is clearly stated that this plan is not mutually beneficial at all. To a large extent, the United States is just using China.

Song Jiaoren smiled. He knew Jackson's meaning and the purpose of his words. "Mr. Counselor, in your opinion, what is China doing inadequately? Is there anyone who is sorry for my friends? Please point it out to me. We have done our best to correct it. You must know that China needs a strong friend like the United States." Song Jiaoren once again successfully kicked the ball back. As long as Jackson responded and pointed out China's wrongness, he was once again trapped in Washington's plan to not sell arms, but instead sold daily necessities. Moreover, Song Jiaoren deliberately said that China needs a powerful opponent like the United States, which is actually implying that the United States now also needs an allies like China, otherwise they would not visit directly today.

Diplomacy is a meticulous debate. You can always hold on to your own arguments and let the other party be led by yourself. This way you win. Song Jiaoren did this perfectly.

"Haha...Mr. Song is indeed well-known. Today we are here to solve the problem. What I want to know is China's attitude towards this moment and the next step." Lai Yinshi has been a Chinese ambassador for many years and knows that Chinese people are soft but not hard. If they do not regress today, there will be only one result, which is endless quarrels. In the end, it may be that the United States will lose, and then they will be in vain today.

"It's very simple. China has been a country of etiquette throughout history, so we won't be sorry to friends. Our policy is based on the changes in your country's policies. You are slow to move, causing a stalemate in the entire European battlefield. Europeans are drinking coffee at home. Who else can we sell our arms? We can only sell coffee beans. So as long as your country activates the entire European battlefield as soon as possible, our cooperation will continue so smoothly." Song Jiaoren put the big hat that Lai Yinshi put on China at the beginning on the United States, indicating that China's actions were purely helpless, and also expressed China's determination to continue cooperation. It's a waste of water.

"Okay, since Mr. Song's words are said, we will report to our top leaders and we will adjust our combat plan in time." Lai Yinshi had no choice but to find a step and hurry down.

"Okay, I hope our cooperation will always be happy." Song Jiaoren casually described the conflict in one sentence.

"Okay, but Mr. Song, I still have a more private question and I want to ask you about it." Lai Yinshi thought about it and made a hesitant statement.

"Mr. Ambassador, it's okay to speak." Song Jiaoren saw Lai Yinshi hesitant and made an action to let Lai Yinshi speak freely

"As far as I know, Mr. Song should be respected and has outstanding abilities in China. He was already very talented as the American ambassador. Now he has been recalled to China and does not even have a false position. Doesn't Mr. Song feel a little wronged?" Lai Yinshi looked very concerned about Song Jiaoren, and said, he was a little sad.

Song Jiaoren's heart skipped a beat. He thought the United States sent them this time just to question China's selling daily necessities in the European market. Unexpectedly, they actually tried to provoke his relationship with Wu Shaoting with ulterior motives.

Fortunately, before this, Song Jiaoren had already communicated with Wu Shaoting about this issue. Wu Shaoting originally wanted to give Song Jiaoren a position as deputy prime minister in the cabinet, but Song Jiaoren took the initiative to refuse. He believed that the Washington plan to cooperate with the United States was of great importance. If there was a mistake, if Song Jiaoren had a position to write a country, then the matter would be exposed and would directly push China to the forefront. However, if Song Jiaoren didn't even have a position to represent the National Government, then even if the matter was exposed, everything could be pushed to Song Jiaoren. Saying that this was just his personal behavior and did not represent China's attitude Wu Shaoting was very moved by Song Jiaoren's spirit of sacrifice and self-preservation.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Ambassador, I don't need any false position, because I have a lifelong firm position," Song Jiaoren said without changing his face.

"What is it?" Jackson just waited for Song Jiaoren to finish speaking, and he couldn't wait to ask. He seemed to be very interested in gossip such as Jackson.

"I am a Chinese," Song Jiaoren said word by word, loudly

The Spring Festival in 1918 is a luxury for China, which has experienced the baptism of war, but people enjoy this luxury as the three years of foreign war finally ended. Coupled with the "Seven-Year Development Plan" issued by the head of state in the middle of last year and a series of other domestic development projects, it brought some vitality to China.

Three days before the Spring Festival, the New Year atmosphere in the ancient city of Nanjing is already very strong. Even the Presidential Palace, which usually gives people a serious smile, is decorated with lights.

Wu Shaoting sat in his spacious office. Nanjing was already very cold at this time. The fireplace was burning. He was looking at the draft laying of the Asia-Europe Air Continental Bridge. Although it was a draft, it was actually just a key issue to be discussed. Other series of details and the preparations for establishing a company in the Ministry of Transport have been basically implemented.

Wu Shaoting frowned, and the problems reflected in the draft were still relatively difficult.

Cai E, Minister of Land and Defense, has been in and out of Wu Shaoting's office these days, and today he came with a stack of documents as usual, but this time his expression is not as cold as the first few days.

In the past few days, Cai E was not only concerned with the development of the situation between countries during World War I, but his main energy was to focus on the development of various forces within China and around him. Now European countries are busy with war and have no time to look east. The United States is not only busy with war, but at least it is China's allies who will not take any action against China. However, these surrounding countries are really going to defend themselves. This is the reason why it is difficult to defend against thieves.

The attendant has become accustomed to the past few days Cai E has been coming to Wu Shaoting's office and has been exempted from the notice.

"The Head of State, Malaya, Lion City and Southeast Asian Chinese ** movement has made progress." Cai E was very excited when he entered the door and said to Wu Shaoting, and he also put a stack of information in front of Wu Shaoting.

In the early November of last year, it was precisely because of the unique military parade held by China in Taiwan and the first military expo that the whole world recognized the indigenous people of the Chinese Malay Peninsula and the Chinese living here, and realized that this was a great opportunity to declare that it would be a free country belonging to the Malay people.

Of course, it is said to be for freedom, but in fact it is still some powerful local forces on the Malay Peninsula. I hope to expand their power more until the British colony becomes a role that truly grasps the sovereignty of the Malay Peninsula.

Among them, the Chinese have gained increasingly higher social status as China's national strength rises and the capital wealth accumulated by business for many years. Therefore, these Chinese living in the Malay Peninsula have also formed an inflated power ambition, hoping to overthrow the British colonies and establish a regime

Although the indigenous peoples of the Malay Peninsula want to gain sovereignty, the Chinese only need a regime, there is a clear difference between the two because the Chinese still hope to be like Khmer, Siam, and Laos, the Malay Peninsula's regime under the protection of China and become a vassal state of China

But even so, the two major forces still have something in common at the moment, that is, they must first overthrow the rule of the British colonists.

So in late November, two forces on the Malay Peninsula formed a secret group and established contact with China as a group to drive away the British in the Strait colonies through China and assist the Malay Peninsula.

It was from that time that the National Policy Research Office of the Nanjing Presidential Office and the Ministry of Land and Defense were urgently preparing for the plan until more than two months have passed, and the two sides have been in contact.

"Oh? Is there any progress so soon?" Wu Shaoting picked up the information Cai E put on the table and read it carefully

There are nearly 1.8 million Chinese people in Malaya and Lion City, accounting for more than 70% of the population of Malaya and Lion City. It is the largest ethnic group in Malaya and Lion City. Malaya and Lion City are the only country outside China with the majority of Chinese population. These Chinese people all went to Malaya and Lion City in early trade and other commercial activities. These people mainly come from Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan and other southeastern coastal provinces in China.

Although Malaya and Lion City are just a small country, and even a large city in China is not as large as that in China, it is a country with an important strategic position

Malaya and the Lion City are guarded by the Strait of Malacca, which is a world-famous golden waterway. According to the current development trend of the world economy, the importance of the Strait of Malacca will be improved step by step. If you can master the Strait of Malacca, you will successfully master the fortresses for countries in various continents and Asia. This will smoothly restrain each country, and no countries dare to act rashly against China.

Moreover, Malaya and the Lion City are a sea-side country. If you can control Malaya and the Lion City, you can master the most important Strait of Malacca in South Asia, which is a great force for the competition for sea power in South Asia and the Pacific Ocean.

Malaysia is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean and borders Thailand in the north, the Strait of Malacca in the west, the South China Sea in the east, and the Johor Strait in the south, and the Lion City in the south. It can be seen from the geographical location of Malaysia that Malaysia’s important strategic location is an important strategic location

"What measures should we take next, head of state?" When asked this question, Cai E was also thinking about what to do.

"What is He Chongshi busy with recently?" Wu Shaoting did not rush to answer Cai E's question, but instead asked Cai E and He Fuguang, the commander-in-chief of the Second Southern Army, Wu Shaoting's confidant, and a hawkish person.

"Commander He is currently in charge of the management of the South Asian colonial area in Kunming Headquarters." Cai E thought before that that Wu Shaoting would let He Fuguang be responsible, after all, only his power is closest to there

"Then let this kid be responsible for this matter. Do you think it is better for us to develop them into our colony, or is it better to support local Chinese to establish a regime?" Wu Shaoting looked a little confused.

"I think it's better to support the Chinese to establish a regime." Cai E answered directly without thinking. In fact, it was not unthinking. Cai E had thought about it many times before Wu Shaoting asked this question.

"Oh, so sure to tell me your opinion." Wu Shaoting didn't expect that Cai E was so confident, of course, it coincided with his own ideas.

"There are three reasons. First, China has officially announced its withdrawal from the First World War. Now it will develop Malaysia, Malaya and Lion City into Chinese colonies. It is undoubtedly a disguised war. This conflicts with China's previous decision to withdraw from the First World War, and it is undoubtedly a slap in the face." Cai E said the first point and then looked at Wu Shaoting.

"Come on, sit down and say, what you said is very consistent and continue." Wu Shaoting was very satisfied after hearing Cai E's first point.

"The second point is that the main contradiction in our country is to take advantage of the opportunity of World War I to vigorously develop the economy, and the premise of economic development is stability, so all destabilizing behaviors are unwise. In the long-term war, we should focus on resting and resting, and should not start another round of war at this time."

Listening to Cai E's explanation, Wu Shaoting nodded frequently

Seeing that Wu Shaoting was very sure of his thoughts, Cai E continued, "Third point, Malaysia, Malaya and Lion City are the southern gates of China. If they can support them in establishing sovereignty and are led by the Chinese regime, it will have a much greater role than directly developing into a colony of China. As a sovereign country, if any country dares to make any attempts against them, China can interfere in order to maintain the stability of Asia. However, if it is a colony, the adjacent countries and the United States will try every means to divide this colony from China's sphere of influence. In this way, even if China easily develops Malaya, Lion City and Malaysia into its own colonies, it will bring back endless troubles. However, if we support the Chinese regime, we can enjoy the benefits equivalent to the colony and reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles. Wouldn't that be good?"

After Cai E finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shaoting and waited for Wu Shaoting's reaction
